A fresh wave of speculation has hit South African entertainer Faith Nketsi after a viral post on X claimed she and socialite Tebogo Thobejane had the same doctor perform their BBLs, throwing the star’s years-long denials back into the spotlight.
The post, shared by @busiwe_bubu read:
“Faith Nketsi and Tebogo Thobejane both got their BBLs from the same doctor.”
The claim quickly picked up steam online, with users debating whether the similarities in the two women’s figures point to a shared cosmetic procedure.
Faith Nketsi’s long-running denial
Nketsi, who rose to fameas a dancer and reality TV personality, has consistently pushed back against suggestions that she has had a BBL. Over the years, she has maintained that her physique is natural, but that position has remained a topic of scepticism among South African social media users.
X user @LehulaMary captured the sentiment many seem to share, writing:

“Faith has denied the BBL allegations for years, but I can’t lie… it does look like she had some work done.”
The comment struck a chord with many who have followed the debate, as it acknowledged Nketsi’s repeated denials while still questioning the authenticity of her look.
Fans weigh in on viral BBL claims

The viral post sparked a flood of reactions on X, with many users insisting Faith Nketsi had undergone cosmetic surgery despite her long-standing denials.
“We know she went under the knife😭”
Another, @LehulaMary, agreed, saying:
“She definitely did.”
“She did, she is lying to us.”
Others speculated about the type of procedure
“They all deny. Maybe she did a lipo.”
“Even a blind person can see that she had some work done. Looks like she got a couple of ribs removed too. Yena she’s always been thick, kodwa she still got some work done. :)”
“She definitely got some work done, that waist isn’t naturally.”
Not everyone believed Faith’s curves came from a BBL. @Ntombifuth21861 argued:
“She is like her mom with natural thickness, she only did stomach she removed ribs but the bums are natural.”
Another user, @vuvuginae, questioned the growing popularity of cosmetic enhancements in the country, asking:
“When did this BBL become a trend in SA🥺🥺”
